Developers of apps that use end-to-end encryption to protect private communications could be considered hostile actors in the UK.
Am I missing something in the thought process here? Surely removing encryption just makes the entire UK uniquely vulnerable to having their messages read not just by UK intelligence but anyone. It doesn’t make any sense.
it only makes citizens vulnerable, and who cares about those peasants?
“It is a reasonable assumption that this would be in the interests of a foreign state”
No, it isn’t. Unless that state has the best interests of UK citizens at heart, I guess.
Considering TOR was originally a CIA project, I wouldn’t be completely surprised if Signal was funded by a secret agency too.
